These are the requirements of the program leading to the degree of master of science in computer engineering.
Students will select one of the following three options, each totaling 30 credits:
- Two core courses (6 credits), one course from each of four focus areas (12 credits), four elective courses (12 credits), and a zero-credit independent study report.
- Two core courses (6 credits), one course from each of four focus areas (12 credits), three elective courses (9 credits), and one 3-credit project, under the direction of a faculty member.
- Two core courses (6 credits), one course from each of four focus areas (12 credits), two elective courses (6 credits), and a 6-credit thesis, under the direction of a faculty member.
At least 12 credits from the focus areas and electives must be from an engineering discipline (courses prefixed EE or Engr). Completion of the program with less than 24 credits in courses prefixed EE and Engr does not lead to credit towards licensure.
